Ayrilana.1396 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Doubt GW2 Classic would work due to the size of the playerbase and people not realizing exactly what things they would not have with classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellesee.8297 Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 They would have all the good stuff. None of the bad stuff. I'm not biased at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 That's not how Classsic would work. Yes, you're biased as what you consider good/bad may not be what others consider good/bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumek.9043 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 While im a necro 1trick since launch and its the game I enjoyed, I doubt how long it would last. It was very punishing , 1-shoty and very "proc" based. Air + fire sigil + dhuumfire = 3k dmg on a power necro attack thats meant to do 500 dmg. Add spinal shivers and I can already remember how a duel against the average sizer looked: hit for 3k with procs dodge doge swap to dagger, land 2x autos doge doge swap shroud doge evade dodge land shroud auto 4k , air 1k , fire 1k , spinal 4k sizer ded, me 3hp. Its a good equal matchup betweem 2 glass builds, but only cz both builds have unfair mechanics. So if you remove 1 stupid thing , which you 99% will have to, lets say the fire air procks , you then need to make necros actual weapon more reliable. At that point, youre already playing something closer to HOT than vanilla gw2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loboling.5293 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I miss gems for amulets more than anything in PvP. Being able to customize your stats more was just better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disturb people rose tinted nostalgia with actual facts about the gameplay back then. PvP has always had it's share of bullshit mechanics (beside a lot of very cool and skillbased ones, to be fair). At least Lich was Bullshit zapping people with AA spam in 2014 and is bullshit zapping people with AA spam in 2021, so we've gone full circle on that. Otherwise, I'd rather have the current meta improved than going back in time, despite all the fun I had on cele rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazsi.2734 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I hardly ever played PvP back then, but when I did I just spammed all my skills on cooldown, and still got the highest scores in almost every hotjoin match I ever joined. Nobody knew how to play back then. If we were transported back to that time, the most distgusting oneshot meta would emerge within 2 weeks.

There was less of "having everything" and more of "risk/reward". I honestly miss it. And i am well aware we will never see it again (too many things changed). So give me my rose tinted glasses back while i am mashing my keys... in a raid and not pvp :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
